I tried to go to the website for help but it wouldn't come up. I have had my IUD for almost two years now and it is missing in action in my abdomen. The 3 doctors (not techs) who did three different ultrasounds suspect it has torn through my uterine wall and is sitting on my rectum. By the way, they don't want to do x-rays because I'm pregnant. My husband and I have a 10 year old and were not planning on more children. He's retired from the army. Needless to say, I'm missing work from all the pain, nausea, headaches, cramps, emotional distress, etc. They want to do an x-ray when I reach my second trimester but I fear any harm to the baby. They want to perform surgery to remove the IUD and have talked about the risks to the baby with that also. Not to mention that the doctors have said that this is the 6th case they've seen recently just here locally. Something needs to be done. Mirena needs to be off the market. I personally feel that Mirena should also be held responsible for their misleading claims to the safety and effectiveness of their product! Please contact me if you hear anything about a lawsuit. I'd gladly join. My contact email is: [email protected]
